Basically count to 100 and perform an operation each time i increases.
for ((i=1; i<=100;i++)) do echo $i done
for loop 1 liner
for ((i=1; i<=100;i++)) do echo $i ; done
Handy if you just want a script to run and repeat the same thing over and over again. Doesn't stop till you kill it.
while true do echo "Repeat till infinity" sleep 1 done
The following will execute the loop as long as the command in the () returns true. Once it returns false, it'll stop the loop
while (fping incredigeek.com | grep alive); do echo alive sleep 1 done
#!/bin/bash
array=(one two three)
echo "Printing first object in array." #Replace 0 with the place number of the array item
echo ${array[0]}
echo ""
echo "Whole array"
echo ${array[*]}
echo ""
echo "Array indexes"
echo ${!array[*]}
Output
Printing first object in array. one Whole array one two three Array indexes 0 1 2
Install the KDE screenlocker config tool
apt install kde-config-screenlocker
Launch the utility with
kcmshell5 screenlocker
or search for screen locking in Application Launcher.
Set image under Appearance.
Gain access to radio via ssh
ssh ubnt@192.168.1.20
open up the /tmp/system.cfg
vi /tmp/system.cfg
Delete the following line. To move the cursor to the following line and type “dd” and vi will delete the whole line.
dhcpc.status=disabled
Add the following 5 lines. Hit “i” to enter vi insert mode.
br0 should be correct interface in most scenarios.
dhcpc.1.devname=br0
dhcpc.1.fallback=192.168.1.20
dhcpc.1.fallback_netmask=255.255.255.0
dhcpc.1.status=enabled
dhcpc.status=enabled
Save the file by hitting esc and then “:wq” followed by Return/Enter
Save the config changes and reboot the radio so it pulls an address.
/usr/etc/rc.d/rc.softrestart save && reboot
Sometimes the scaling can be wrong on a VM if you plug in a different monitor. You can fix the issue by opening up the location of the VirtualBox executable, right click on it, go to properties > Compatabiltiy > Enable Program DPI > Set to DPI to the Display of my main display when “I open this program”
Save by hitting OK
“C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox”
Looks like to get the audible tone to work the terminal window needs to be inactive. So open up a terminal windows and launch ping with
ping -a ipaddress
and then select a different window. Once the IP is available it should put out an audible tone.
It appears that the issue could be a corrupt VirtualBox.xml file. The one I had did not have anything in it. Removing or moving the file let it create a new one and let VirtualBox actually start.
mv ~/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml{,old}
Only problem is that none of the VM’s showed up. Was able to go to the ~/VirtualBox folder in a file browser and launch the vbox file to start the VM
